After a few uses, I must say that the battery life has impressed me. I did 16 small units at once and only briefly charged the unit while I took a break! So far it’s looking good!
@@Zorro746 anywhere a bedbug would crawl but in a vacant unit it wouldn't do much good unless you have a CO2 lure to make them cross the barrier. If they hav no reason (food source) to come out of hiding then they won't cross the barriers created. As I'm sure you know, they are attracted to body heat and CO2 and this is typically going to be used at the borders of where they are drawn to. I believe they show to go around sockets, switch plates, and baseboards. I would imagine that if you do this, they would have to cross those borders one people moved in but you'd likely want to treat again every 3 months just to make sure it's effective.
I've used apprehend 3 times now as a pest controller and it has worked each time, I'm in Canada so we don't have many other options for bed bugs either although I've heard good things about "Crossfire" but again we don't have that product in Canada sadly
My bf is a licensed guy and he believes that we need to keep all clothes and bedding unwashed out of plastic bags until the clothes and bedding are washed so that the spores from apprehend spread...is that true???
I mean I heard that the clothes and bedding have to be put in plastic bags so that bugs don't spread but he said if we leave things outside it's best with Apprehend I do not know what do you think??
The only reason that you would need to put bedding and clothing in black plastic bags would be if you want to leave them out in the sun to allow the heat to penetrate the items to kill bed bugs at might already be on them. But as long as you launder your clothes and put them in the dryer on high settings to kill whatever might be there and use apprehend on a quarterly basis you'll be fine. The typical standard process of bed bug elimination prior to apprehend was to make sure that bedding and clothing stayed away from them because they will hitch rides which is stil going to be the case. Regardless. The only thing that needs to be done is 1 aprehend treatment, 2 you have to basically use yourself as bait, 3 be patient. There's no required preparation for it like you have to do with other treatments. Your boyfriend would do well to go through the Aprehend training course so that he knows exactly what needs to be done and what doesn't instead of making assumptions which is how people end up losing their licenses.
We just got our sprayer in. I have to say, I’m a bit skeptical about the compressor, but I’m really hoping it can withstand treatment of multiple units. I want this to work, I really do. We’ve seen too many new things over the years that have not been all they’re cracked up to be. I like this concept, and I can’t wait to test it. Stay tuned for a follow up.
I've done dozens of treatments and I've never had a single call back. I would say without hesitation that it is 100 percent effective if applied properly. It is a prohibited pesticide so you need a license to buy and use it. So dont think you can just buy it online because the department of Agriculture tracks that stuff and it's a 10k dollar fine. I swear by this stuff though.
The spray gun is cheap, incredibly poor quality and constantly leaks. I've purchased 2 of these kits for my company and I'm Incredibly disappointed in the product.

Y’all aren’t allowed to use pesticides or what?
It'd be perfect if you could leave a link to where we can buy the whole set. Aprehend and the sprayer in one link!

@@Mirya_Reviews thank you so much
@@Mirya_Reviewsthis was a great comment! Do you have to be licensed PCO to take the course and buy product and applicator? I’m in USA.
@@RM-jb2bv Yes, you have to have a license to purchase and apply this.
what was the outcome? does it eliminate them? how many treatments?
Hello, I was wondering if you guys sell outside of the USA??

Randy Livengood how is it working for you. I hope it is going great b/c thinking of giving it a try.
So... about that followup?
Where to buy?

What is followup?
We've had two treatments of Aprehend in our unit and we still have bed bugs.
How are things going? Any improvement?
How long after the first treatment was your 2nd one and how long after either of those did you call it in?
